Jeff,
thx for the reply. Unfortunately I have not used scripts and crontab so far. If
you can give additional help I would truly appreciate it.
most of my space seems to have been taken by the antivirus and cache
/var/amavis /var/log/cache
thankx for all the help

Mircea;
I will assume that you are used to writing scripts and using crontab; if
not let me know and I'll help you write a script.
Write a script that uses df -h to return the free space on the hard
drive, test the value to see if you have met the threshold of less than
1 Gb of free space; if it has run the sub routine below,
find /directory/where/your/files/are -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm '{}' \;
if it is still within the threshold value use the script to exit because
it has nothing to do.
run this as a crontab once a day at a time period where the load is
typically the lowest. This script if written properly uses very few
system resources.
Hope this helps
